Yellow 4 Door Project...

As much as I like the LED headlights I can't help but think that they take away the charm (old school look) of a MK1. I am however tempted to get some for my MK3 which I daily between Braidwood and Canberra.

Can't have enough candle power for roo spotting on the Kings Highway.

PS. Let me know when you want the bumpers for rego. Looks like you only need the ends for the front one, what about the rear?

For me it’s because of early morning work and sometimes finishing work late. I need good lighting.

As for bumpers, yeah, I’m sure end caps for front is good and rear is whole bumper.

But I’ll let you know.

Thanks for the help.

You can't argue with good lighting!

I like them, they look cool, and the fact they work better is the icing on the cake.

I love them, as we actually use these on 4 wheel drive cars that don’t have spotties or light bars and they work amazing. Then add spotties or a light bar and it’s just so much better.

Everyone will pick up on what my end goal is once a few other things have been done.

Finally I believe I have everything I need coolant hoses wise. It took a week and a half with test fitting, and keep matching hoses to finally get to what I have.

I have to thank my mate at my local parts shop who helped me in doing so. It’s great having these relationships vut also have a relationship outside of that which is even more important.

As follows are the hoses I have which will work perfectly for my vehicle. Keep in mind, a little bit of extra research for other engines or vehicles will be needed but I do hope this helps as a guideline to be able to source things locally.


I got all my hoses at Bursons Auto Parts but I’m sure places like Repco and Supercheap might be able to provide the same(or at what ever parts shop you buy at)

MACKAY 8mm Heater Hose for over flow from expansion tank to radiator,
Dayco 19mm Heater Hose from bottom of the head splitter to the top of the water pump at the back,
Dayco 17mm Heater Hose from bottom of expansion tank to metal part of heater line and also for the small bit between water pump and heater line,
Dayco DMH5653 is the bottom radiator hose(which will need to be cut back a smidge to fit nicely),
Dayco DMH3723 is the top radiator hose and fits snug without any trimming etc.

I have two weeks off now from work. So hoping during these two weeks I can get the coolant plumbing done and maybe even sort out a few extra stuff to have her ready for when I go back to work, to organise rego inspection.

I’m also having time to spend on the cleaning things up side of the car. I started with the must clean up side of things which is engine and gearbox as I believe there are a couple if small oil leaks(very small) but if all that is clean when she goes over the pits, she might pass inspection a bit easier.

Thanks. Hoping at the end of these two weeks I can drive her daily.

That will be cool.

Again tried to clean up as best I can where ever I can. Using fuel for a start to clean, and then have some really strong degreaser after.

I have also started fabrication on my new expansion tank bracket. But when I fabricate at home it’s all done outside and rain has stopped progress but I should be able to have it done by tomorrow and start the old girl up.

And to top off my afternoon once the rain started, my mother in law came home from the shops and got me a little something she saw at the shops.
